Hilton exists to play the celebrity game based upon the "all publicity is good publicity" calculation. The Sponsors are just acting out their usual roles being snsitive about the "Child Protection" ethic which is the only ethic anyone publicly subscribes to anymore. What a farce.

If I had any photoshopping skills, I'd take one of those "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!" photos that he likes to take (like, say, the one here), throw it into a prison background (like, I don't know, this one), and draw semen on his face.

I really am struggling to get a handle on what's "over the line" these days. Not to condone at all what Mr. Hilton did (Mr. Hilton is not condonable) I guess a "revealing" shot is bad if not consented to (or at least, not approved by your agent as an attempt to broaden your appeal as in this.)

"Can someone punch him in the mouth again?"seconded."She's 17, for Pete's sake. Her cha will look exactly the same the day after her birthday as it does now. Calling it "child pornography" destroys any meaning to the words."So we move the age to 17. of course a 16 year old will look the same as she did the day after her birthday as she does now. So we move the age to 16.Of course a 15 year old will look the same as she did the day after her birthday as she does now. So we move the age to 15.

I remember being enraged when the Rolling Stone photo spread of then seventeen year old Britney Spears came out my freshman year of college. Not enraged at Britney Spears but at the adults around her who allowed her to be sexually exploited in that way and at Rolling Stone for doing the exploiting.

Perez Hilton is a pig, but I do like "live by the sorid, die by the sorid."

I doubt they will prosecute him, but I would much rather Perez Hilton face the prosecution than some high school kids texting naked picture of each other. I have no idea how this guy has a career, but apparently he does.

Oh, and the Miley photograph was apparently photoshopped. Which is still child pornography (as it is defined).

I'm vaguely embarassed that I even know who these two people are. At any rate, I'm pretty sure that their lives are so extreme and sui generis that no useful lessons can be derived from the examples of their lives. It's like studying the sultan and his harem for lessons on how to keep your marriage intact.

You know, you'd think that someone who so often trades on staying within the letter of the law would make damn fuckin' sure he stayed within the letter of the law.

Not that I'm sad to see an asshole get what he deserves, but it's just such a silly way for it to happen. It's Al Capone getting done for tax evasion. It's the judicial equivalent of a bully slipping on a banana peel and breaking his arm; it's just not narratively satisfying.

Perez Hilton is a sub-human parasite. This type of vermin needs to be eradicated. The sooner he becomes an internet footnote the better. Frankly, if I was Billy Ray, I'd find that piece of filth were he sleeps and make him wish never to wake up again.

Well, sure, just like we need to draw the line somewhere when it comes to vehicle speeds. But if you talk about someone doing 67 in a 65 zone like they were a serious threat to life and limb, you can't expect me to take you seriously.

Is it illegal to post pictures of a 17-year-old's vagina? Sure. Does it outrage me? Eh, not really.
